Armenian leadership should calm down and see a doctor - apparently
something is wrong with the psyche.
The statement came from Turkish MP from the ruling Justice and
Development Party, Mustafa Kabakci, commenting on Armenian President
Serzh Sargsyan's statement in an interview with "Freedom" that
"Turkey's reluctance to look into the eyes of history and at the same
time a manifestation of the pro-European ambitions cannot so easily
get away".
"Rather than dealing with a century ago, the Armenian leadership should
look at their recent history. Crimes of Armenia against Azerbaijan
are a well-known fact. There are still living witnesses of Khojaly
genocide, they have something to say to Sargsyan, and I do not think
he will be able to respond," said Kabakci.
"Turkey is a great country and Sargsyan should not even try to scare
us with his delusional statements. We have repeatedly stated that the
issue of the so-called "genocide" should be the subject of discussions
of historians, not politicians.
Armenian politicians and lobby by any means want to put this question
in the political sphere. Turkey has always stood against injustice
and is trying to deal with it, whether in the Caucasus, the Middle
East or elsewhere," said Kabakci.
